Hmm, none of the yahoo groups I'm on do that; the email address of the
original is still available even when the default reply is to the list itself
(as is the norm for a mailing list; this one's the exception).

There are times when it's desirable to reply to an individual on a mailing
list, too, even though it's *far* more typical to reply to the list as a
whole. It'd be a shame to lose that ability.

Personally I'm hoping from an eventual Internet-wide ban and associated jail
sentence, either for spammers or for people connecting using Windows-based
machines :-)
